Scream 7 has lost not only its leading ladies, but also its director. Christopher Landon shared a statement on social media saying that he left the latest installment of the franchise over a month and a half ago, describing the project as a “nightmare.”
“I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago,” Landon wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday. “This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone.”
I guess now is as good a time as any to announce I formally exited Scream 7 weeks ago. This will disappoint some and delight others. It was a dream job that turned into a nightmare. And my heart did break for everyone involved. Everyone. But it’s time to move on. I have nothing
more to add to the conversation other than I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world. What he and Kevin created is something amazing and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.
“It’s time to move on,” the director said, adding that he has nothing more to add to the conversation. “I hope Wes’ legacy thrives and lifts above the din of a divided world,” he continued. “What he and Kevin [Williamson, who wrote the screenplay for Scream] created is something amazing and I was honored to have even the briefest moment basking in their glow.” Landon left Scream VII a month after Melissa Barrera, who was in the fifth and sixth films of the franchise, was fired after she shared messages on social media supporting the Palestinian cause and criticizing Israel’s airstrikes.
The director of Happy Death Day and Freaky, in a now-deleted social media post, seemed to comment on Barrera’s firing, saying, “This is my statement. Everything sucks. Stop yelling. This was not my decision to make.”
Wednesday star Jenna Ortega also departed from Scream 7 the day after Barrera’s exit became public. However, the exact reason for Ortega leaving wasn’t disclosed. The actress too had shared pro-Palestine posts on social media. Instead, it was widely believed and reported that she departed due to scheduling conflicts with Season 2 of the her super hit Netflix show Wednesday.
On December 24, Bollywood actor Arbaaz Khan got married to makeup artist Shura Khan in an intimate ceremony in Mumbai, India. The wedding took place at Arpita Khan’s house, with close friends and family in attendance. Arbaaz and Shura jointly shared their wedding pictures from their accounts.
The couple looks dreamy as they posed together in front of floral decorations. For the big day, the bride and groom twinned in floral outfits with peach undertones. Sharing the pictures, the actor wrote, “In the presence of our loved ones, me and mine begin a lifetime of love and togetherness from this day on! Need all your blessings and good wishes on our special day!”
Pictures of the Bollywood actor with his new bride also surfaced on social media. Fans are expressing good wishes for the newly wedded couple.

Bobby Deol plays the role of a Muslim villain, Abrar Haque, in the recently released Bollywood film Animal. Deol has said that he didn’t think of his character as a villain but as someone with childhood trauma. Abrar, the negative character, is the cousin of the film’s protagonist Ranujay Singh (Ranbir Kapoor).
Sandeep Reddy Wanga was asked in a recent interview why Abrar (Bobby Deol) belongs to a Sikh family but he himself is a Muslim.
“I have seen that in life when people are completely disappointed, they go to a church, a mosque or a sage who helps such distressed people.” In order to get rid of the problem, they give tawzee or suggested to change the name, he said. “I have even seen people convert to religion in such desperate situations to completely change their identity. We have seen many people convert to Islam and Christianity but we have never seen anyone convert to Hinduism. So, I thought I should show this fact in my film because a Muslim man can marry more than once so he can have more children so I can show a lot of cousins in my movie story.”
Sandeep stressed, “That’s the only reason I cast Abrar (Bobby Deol), a character from a Sikh family, as a Muslim in my film.” He clarified that he did not do this to make Muslims look bad.
